Generously proportioned Syrah with intense sweet dark berry fruits, chocolate, black pepper and spicy oak. Firmly structured red with fine, ripe tannins assuring a long life although slightly restraining aromatics at the moment. La Collina has a proven ability to age gracefully. This vintage used a high percentage of whole bunches in the ferment to give added structure and longevity. Score: 96 ★★★★★ – view on bobcampbell.nz
